I have been on these horrible horrible injections now for over two years, and I am getting no closer to having a hysterectomy. I was promised.

has anyone been on ProStap injection is for over two years. Can you please tell me if your pain started to come back after 2 years on the injections.

I wonder are they wearing off I no longer working

If it helps with the pain and you’re not having side effects, then it’s worth being on it. It’s not meant to be used for longer than 6 months though so 2 years seems a long while, even if allowed off-license.

I was on Prostap for 6 months and it was as long as I could bear! I experienced bad side effects which outweighed any benefits I may have gotten from it, some which I suspect lingered long after stopping them, eyes, extreme muscle and joint pain, low blood sugar level issues (I’m not diabetic but when I went on Prostap my blood work showed pre-diabetes).

I stopped it and 3 months later my appendix burst and that may have been the root of my abdo pain all along, but still can’t be sure.
